Elmarit-M 90mm f/2.8

The Elmarit-M 90mm f/2.8 is a
compact and handy small telephoto lens. It has universal uses
for portrait and landscape, for snapshots and press work.

The lens has four elements in
four groups. Even at full aperture the Elmarit-M 90mm f/2.8 has
a very good contrast performance and its detail rendering is
excellent. The image plane is very flat, i.e. definition is very
good from corner to corner even at full aperture, and practically
free from coma. Stopping the lens down to f/4.0 improves the
optical quality only marginally.

Even at short focusing distances
the lens has a high contrast performance and produces a very
flat picture area.

Vignetting, inherent in all optical
systems, is so slight in this lens that it can be practically
ignored.

The French photo magazine Chasseur
d'Images awarded this lens the maximum 5 stars for optical quality.

The German photo magazine ColorFoto
gave this lens a 90.4 score (5 stars plus).

The American photo magazine Popular
Photography awarded this lens the maximum score of 5 stars (8.3).
